Description of problem: collectd 4.5 is getting quite a bit old. Attached a first stab at updating it to a current version, liboping might as well be better moved into its own rpm package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

yes, it's better to package liboping as a separate RPM, I just wonder are there any other usages outside of collectd?
Hmmm, until recently the source was duplicated within the collectd source repo and a separate liboping repo. As liboping is not used anywhere else in Fedora, maybe keeping it within one rpm is still the best from the packaging side. (Well, it is no change from the existing rpm at least.) regards, Florian La Roche
Meanwhile, can somebody please fix the broken build of 4.6.2 in rawhide: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1644967&name=build.log Looks an unpackaged file issue, which has been around since it was updated about 3 months ago: error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/include/collectd/client.h /usr/include/collectd/lcc_features.h /usr/lib64/collectd/bind.so /usr/lib64/collectd/curl.so /usr/lib64/collectd/match_regex.so /usr/lib64/collectd/match_timediff.so /usr/lib64/collectd/match_value.so /usr/lib64/collectd/openvpn.so /usr/lib64/collectd/target_notification.so /usr/lib64/collectd/target_replace.so /usr/lib64/collectd/target_set.so /usr/lib64/libcollectdclient.la /usr/lib64/libcollectdclient.so /usr/lib64/libcollectdclient.so.0 /usr/lib64/libcollectdclient.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libcollectdclient.pc I would do it if it was obvious, but it looks like the spec explicitly lists all .so files, and I'm not sure what goes where.

Probably best to ask on fedora-devel-list or #fedora-devel on IRC.
collectd should really be started via collectdmon, should I open another ticket for that, or can that be added during this rebuild?
collectd has very good upstream releases and moving rawhide to the current stable 4.8.1 release would be great for Fedora. regards, Florian La Roche
OK we got several new bugs here. Please open separate BZs for each one.
comment 4 is fixed in F-12, issue I mention in comment 5 was "solved" by disabling ppc: * Fri Sep 11 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa> 4.6.5-1 - update to 4.6.5 - disable ppc/ppc64 due to compile error comment 7 should indeed be filed as a separate BZ comment 8 can be handled here, summary is updated. Few months back, I tried to apply Florian's patch from comment 1 but I couldn't make it use liboping from Source1. Florian, I see you have commented it out: +# --with-liboping="%{buildroot}/usr" Did this build for you in mock? I think that, to package this properly, we'll have to create a new package for liboping, like Debian.
Speaking of Debian, what do you think about Debian's collectd packaging[1]: if I understood correctly they package *all* plugins and then use Suggests for libraries required by plugins. RPM doesn't have Suggests so I'll keep sub-packaging plugins which bring additional dependencies, keeping plugins with glibc dependency only in the main package. IMHO we don't need to package all plugins, I'll rely on users' feedback (through BZ) to let us know which plugins should be enabled.

Created attachment 369606 [details] collectd patch to compile on RHEL5 and update to collectd 4.8.1
The above patch updates the current Fedora-Rawhide rpm to collectd-4.8.1 and makes sure it compiles on RHEL5/CentOS5. Maybe some of the new collectd modules should move into a new subrpm and once liboping has further use cases within Fedora it could also move into its own rpm package. regards, Florian La Roche
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
(In reply to comment #12) > Created an attachment (id=369606) [details] > collectd patch to compile on RHEL5 and update to collectd 4.8.1 This fails to build, it's the same issue with installing liboping in %build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1830317&name=build.log
To move this forward, I've decided to push 4.8.1 to Rawhide with disabled ping plugin (bug 541744) and work on packaging liboping in Fedora.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
